Ordinary Amner Hall: The Photo
Page 2
#
Late in the night, both of the little ones have been tucked in to their own beds. Sound asleep. But, it won't last. One, or the other, or both of them will be up, again, in a few hour. Kate and William crawl into bed to try to get some sleep before that happens. Before they turn out the light, they chat a bit.
"Ollie called." William informed her.
"You too? What did he say? Complaining about the photo's of Charlotte, no doubt. Or the lack of photo's of Charlotte, I should say."
"I didn't talk to him. He left a voice mail. Yes about the photos. I didn't know you took them all ready."
"I haven't. I just told him that to placate him a bit."
"Ah. When do you think we'll have something to give to him?"
"Soon."
"Tomorrow?"
"Soon."
"C'mon. Surely, it can't be that difficult. You take a hundred snaps of them a day. Send him something!"
"Well, lets see..." She sneers. She grabs her phone, and starts scrolling through the photos. She finds the one she took just today. She shows it to him. "Here's a good one."
He rolls his eyes at her. "Your boob's in that one."
"My boob's are in most of the pictures of Charlotte." She keeps scrolling. "Oh, and here's one of George." She shoves the device in his face once more.
William grinned at her sarcasm. "He's got food on his face." The photo of George, in his chair, at the kitchen table, eating breakfast.
"It's cute, though. Don't you think? I think the public would enjoy it?" She says, admiring the screen, giggling. "Oh, and they'd definitely get a kick outta the sink full of dirty dishes in the back ground."
He leans over to glance at the photo again. He grins. "Oh, surely."
He takes Kate into his arms, and Kisses the top of her head. "Darling, can you please, just get out the camera, tomorrow. Take a few snaps of the children. You don't even have to edit them. He'll do that. Just email them to him. You'll be happy, once it's done, and you'll get him off our backs for a time. Do you even know where the camera is?"
"Yes. But, the battery is dead."
"Well, charge it."
"I can't find the charger."
"Ugh!" He grimaced, "It's lost again?" He gave her a gentle shove. "C'mon," He said has he crawled out of his side of the bed. "Let's have a quick look. We will charge it up tonight, and it'll be ready to go in the morning."
Kate groaned as she snuggled into her pillow, "But, I'm so tired. She'll be up again, soon. I need to sleep."
"Fine," He relents, "I'll look for it. You sleep."
Half an hour later, Will returns to his bed. "It's charging." He whispers to sleeping Kate.
